Microstructure, hydrogenation and optical behavior of Mg-Ni multilayer films deposited by magnetron sputtering

Mg-Ni multilayer films with sequential Mg and Ni layers were prepared by direct current magnetron sputtering. The substrate temperature influences the microstructure of the films greatly. The film deposited at 298 K exhibits multilayered structure, while the film shows nanocrystalline/amorphous composite structure at the deposition temperature of 473 K. The optical properties between hydrogenation/dehydrogenation states of the films were performed using spectrophotometer in visible light region. The film deposited at 473 K can switch from mirror-like metallic state towards brownish yellow transparent state under 0.6 MPa H₂ at 298 K, and the optical transmittance modulation reaches up to 20% both at a wavelength of 770 nm and IR region, while the film deposited at 298 K exhibits low optical change, and the optical switching behavior can hardly be found. The extra free energy stored in the boundary of the nanocrystallines benefits the formation of magnesium-based hydride, resulting in the enhancement of the optical switching properties of the Mg-Ni film deposited at 473 K.

基于裂纹诱导弦挠度的梁开闭裂纹损伤识别

考虑裂纹缝隙效应,建立了Euler-Bernoulli梁中开闭裂纹位置、深度和初始张开角等损伤参数的识别方法．首先,基于梁中开闭裂纹的等效单向扭转弹簧模型,给出了开闭裂纹Euler-Bernoulli梁静力弯曲挠度的显式闭合解．在此基础上,证明了裂纹诱导弦挠度函数由分段三次多项式组成,并基于其构造特征,建立了基于测量挠度的梁中开闭裂纹位置、裂纹等效扭转弹簧柔度、裂纹初始张开角和裂纹上下侧属性等参数的数值识别方法．最后,通过数值实验考察了挠度测量误差和裂纹位置等对裂纹识别结果的影响,结果表明：裂纹位置、裂纹等效扭转弹簧柔度和裂纹初始张开角等的识别误差随挠度测量误差增大而增大,但裂纹识别结果具有较强的鲁棒性,在工程实际中具有一定的应用前景．     

An IMEX‐BDF2 compact scheme for pricing options under regime‐switching jump‐diffusion models

In this paper, an implicit‐explicit two‐step backward differentiation formula (IMEX‐BDF2) together with finite difference compact scheme is developed for the numerical pricing of European and American options whose asset price dynamics follow the regime‐switching jump‐diffusion process. It is shown that IMEX‐BDF2 method for solving this system of coupled partial integro‐differential equations is stable with the second‐order accuracy in time. On the basis of IMEX‐BDF2 time semi‐discrete method, we derive a fourth‐order compact (FOC) finite difference scheme for spatial discretization. Since the payoff function of the option at the strike price is not differentiable, the results show only second‐order accuracy in space. To remedy this, a local mesh refinement strategy is used near the strike price so that the accuracy achieves fourth order. Numerical results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for European and American options under regime‐switching jump‐diffusion models.

Self-Modulation of Scattering Intensity from a Silica Sphere Coated with a Sol-Gel Film Doped with J-Aggregates

A micrometer-sized nonlinear optical resonator constituted of a silica microsphere coated with J-aggregates has been fabricated by the sol-gel process. We determined the scattering light spectrum and discuss the application of the observed effect for the realization of an optical switching element. Optical evaluation of the sphere has been performed in the attenuated-total-reflection (ATR) configuration. We excited a whispering gallery mode and measured the nonlinear ATR signal dependence on excitation intensity. The experimental result agrees very well with the simulation results obtained using the Mie theory and the finite-difference time-domain method taking into account optical Kerr nonlinearity. The permittivity of the film of J-aggregates was measured by ATR method at several wavelengths and the value at the desired wavelength was determined by extrapolation using the Lorentz function.

Ergodicity of Jackson-type queueing networks

This paper gives a pathwise construction of Jackson-type queueing networks allowing the derivation of stability and convergence theorems under general probabilistic assumptions on the driving sequences; namely, it is only assumed that the input process, the service sequences and the routing mechanism are jointly stationary and ergodic in a sense that is made precise in the paper. The main tools for these results are the subadditive ergodic theorem, which is used to derive a strong law of large numbers, and basic theorems on monotone stochastic recursive sequences. The techniques which are proposed here apply to other and more general classes of discrete event systems, like Petri nets or GSMPs. The paper also provides new results on the Jackson-type networks with i.i.d. driving sequences which were studied in the past.The work of this author was supported in part by a grant from the European Commission DG XIII, under the BRA Qmips contract.The work of this author was supported by a sabbatical grant from INRIA Sophia Antipolis.     

The kinetic Potts chain and related potts models with competing interactions

We consider a general kinetic model for a chain of three-state Potts spins. From the time-evolution operator we infer points in two-dimensional Potts systems where certain spin correlations have one-dimensional character and the model is exactly solvable. This occurs in square lattice models with different kinds of competing interactions.
